Sift Cupcakes headed to Pacific Heights

Ever since Dumplings & Buns ended its quick run on the corner of California and Fillmore in the February, the vacant space been in high demand from prospective tenants.

Late yesterday, a lease was signed, and the winner of the 2411 California sweepstakes is … Sift Dessert Bar, a cupcake specialist with three locations in Napa, Santa Rosa and Cotati. You might also recognize Sift from television; last year, Sift owner Andrea Ballus won Food Network’s “Cupcake Wars.” In addition to the cupcakes, Sift also offers other sweets like ice cream sandwiches, whoopie cookies, macarons and “crispy cakes”; see the full slate of offerings here.
